Performance is excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I am asked to review a purchase, I like to see how it performs for a while as being too quick may not be accurate. So I can truly say that I find this microwave 5 stars!

Very happy

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had bought the microwave in January, in preparation for our complete kitchen renovation. We recently installed it. I like that it has a rack to cook multiple dishes. The features are great, and I like the 3 speed fan. Very happy so far.

Great microwave needs deeper hood

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We like the features of the microwave, but the hood/ vent is not deep enough to catch smoke and grease from the front burners. Is there a deeper option of a hood/ vent to extends to hang over the front burners.

So far it is working well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave came with a new build home. Unfortunately the builder did not leave the instruction manual after the microwave was installed. So I have no idea of what the appliance is capable of doing.
